Thanks for your bugreport.

I made an embarrasing error in -6 release.  This was fixed today in -7 
expected to arrive in unstable in less than 12 hours.

This bug is believed to be a dubplicate of 532392, thus force-merging.


The releases newer than -1.1 contain many many improvements.  If you are 
eager to use them (or are even hit by some of the bugs fixed by them), I 
have unofficial packages available by adding the following to your 
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://debian.jones.dk/ sid ghostscript


...there's also a similar one for Lenny, if you want the improved 
Ghostscript in an otherwise stable environment.

...and to get ahead of you: No, I do not use backports.debian.org, as 
that concept is too simple for my taste (no support for chains of 
backported build-dependencies).


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
